	Folklore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Folklore is the body of expressive culture, including tales, music, dance, legends, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, customs, material culture, and so forth, common to a particular population, comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of that culture, subculture, or group.
		The concept of folklore developed as part of the 19th century ideology of romantic nationalism, leading to the reshaping of oral traditions to serve modern ideological goals; only in the 20th century did ethnographers begin to attempt to record folklore without overt political goals.
		In mathematics and some related disciplines, the term folklore is used to refer to any result in a field of study which is widely known by practitioners of that field, but considered too trivial or unoriginal to be worth publishing by itself in the research literature.

	Selected Bibliography of Materials on Russian Folklore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		While a rather broad interest exists in publishing items concerned with Russian nationality, ethnography, ethnomusicology, folklore, customs, and beliefs, there also are many books that have a popular appeal, have questionable quality, and reflect an interest in such things as astrology, the occult, or supernatural.
		One disturbing sign is that very few collections of Russian folklore itself are coming out, perhaps because private publishers perceive little demand for it, but this may also reflect the fact that many institutions have few or no funds these days to finance expeditions to collect folklore in the field.
		At the same time there are two positive signs for the study of Russian folklore today because it seems that a large number of new and recently written works of fine scholarship are appearing, many older "classics" of Russian folklore are being republished, and several basic reference works are coming out.
